QuoteAs East San Marco landowner Regency Centers Corp. decides how to proceed after the developer ended the deal for the mixed-use project, Rubin bought another building.
Through Atlantic 1639 LLC, Rubin paid $600,000 for the former Family Foundations of Northeast Florida Inc. building.
It sits next to his headquarters at 1649 Atlantic Blvd.
Rubin, a lawyer and an investor in San Marco and other infill properties, intends to renovate the two-story building for office space upstairs and a restaurant downstairs.

This is great for so many reasons. A proven developer willing to invest in the core neighborhoods and a desire to make them better. I wish him much success.
Thats a mighty fine building :0
Wow. That is quite the upgrade.
So much potential right there. East San Marco >:(
It would be nice if JEA would bury those monster powerlines that run down the middle of the sidewalk there. Wishful thinking ;D
I hope he still plans for the exterior renovations shown.
Would be nice it JEA would bury that big powerline down that stretch as well. We walk it a lot and it runs right down the middle of an already too narrow sidewalk.
A bank that has a retail/coffee shop component could work.
That spot has two banks right now, Wells and Citi, plus a new coffee shop just opened up a block away.
